Butterfly Girl

Butterfly Girl

I met a girl
Who is a butterfly
With a dance for a walk
And a laugh for a why
With wings light purple
Like a morning sky
I know a girl
Who is a butterfly
She sings to the rain
And jokes with the wind
And plays with the dew
On webs spiders spinned
And says a little prayer
Where the grass has thinned
From where
She did her dance too long
I loved a girl
Who was a butterfly
Without saying a word
We said ‘goodbye’
But I see her sometimes
In the big blue sky
Teaching herself
How to fly
